Daniel Silva has been charged with murder following the death of Corey La Barrie.

The Australian YouTube star died in a car accident on 10 May (US time), his 25th birthday. Silva was allegedly behind the wheel when the car crashed into a tree and was later arrested over the fatal crash.

LA County District Attorney's office has now confirmed the 26-year-old has been charged with the murder of La Barrie.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the Ink Master star "did unlawfully, and with malice aforethought" murder La Barrie. He has been charged with one felony count of second degree murder.

The LA County DA released a statement on their website, which reads: "A 26-year-old man has been charged with killing the passenger in his McLaren sports car after crashing into a tree in Valley Village earlier this month, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced today. Daniel Joseph Silva of North Hollywood faces one count of murder."

"Silva was allegedly driving when he crashed his car, killing Corey James La Barrie, 25, on May 10, prosecutors said.

If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years to life in state prison."

The day after the accident took place, the Los Angeles Police Department shared in a press release that Silva was purportedly driving a 2020 McLaren 600LT at "a high rate of speed" when he lost control. Police said Silva then ran off the road and collided with a stop sign and a tree.

According to officials, Silva "attempted" to flee the scene, but was stopped by eyewitnesses.
